Definitions
- the present novel invention relates to electronic digital cameras and, more particularly, to an electronic digital camera used in conjunction with a printer and central processing unit or computer which produces a digitized visual display and a hard copy of such digitized visual display including but not limited to text scanned using the electronic digital camera.
- the text can be downloaded from the internet or from computer memory or edited through a keyboard or a touch screen.
- This novel invention relates more specifically to a printer (typically a thermal printer, but not limited to thermal printers) wherein, the printer has the capability to input images/data through reading digitally stored image data and/or a digital image capture mechanism, display images for verification of real time image manipulation, as well as producing traditional output hard copy prints.
- the novel invention relates to image production devices which function as a self contained portrait studio with output features to provide a portrait of a subject via an immediate hard copy and alternatively, scan and store images and text presented in flexible sheet form.
- an electronic camera which includes a display device.
- the camera also includes a digital-to-analog converter that sends signals to the display.
- the digital-to-analog converter selectively sends these images to a magnetic tape for storage. Images on the magnetic tape can then be produced as a hard copy by a printer that is provided as part of the camera.
- a print must be made in order for a user to determine whether it is satisfactory.
- Another problem is that it does not offer or provide as an alternative, a means for using the camera as a digital scanner and copier for text or images on sheets.
- today's image copy/print systems such as the KodakTM Image Magic Print SystemTM, contains a bundling of multiple individual products. Each product performs unique discrete functions, and all products are tied together through custom software, custom firmware and custom electronic hardware. These multiple products and functions include: (1) the scanning of an image on negatives or print media by using a discrete scanner, (2) viewing the image-typically through the use of a discrete monitor (for today's state-of-the art), (3) processing the image by using a discrete processor or personal computer, and (4) editing the image typically via a discrete keyboard, image mouse, or touch screen for today's state-of-the art.

- novel integration of a sheet feeder and novel sheet display unit, vertically oriented for example, with a detachably mounted digital camera which is rotably mounted in a plane orthogonal to the sheet display unit.
- the novel invention describes how one can replace the scanner (input hardware) with a removable and position altering digital camera and incorporate that camera feature into one integral, multi-functional single printer device made up of an integrally combined scanner, monitor, printer, keyboard and computer processor unit or CPU.
- an attachable digital electronic camera is expanded by combining same with a novel combination device comprising a sheet feeder which displays each sheet in a vertical position such that its image is viewable and captured by the digital electronic camera, digitally displayed, and printed and the same camera is selectively used to prepare digitally adjustable life size portraits with the use of an integrated computer or CPU and keypad control panel by mounting the camera on an integral rotatable mounting.
